Radeon 9600 on FC3 no OpenGL-Support
 

Hello Everyone,
I changed my Graphic Hardware to Radeon 9600, before I used a Geforce 2 by nvidia.
Since that change I am not able to use OpenGl anymore on the system. I have tried by installing the newest driver provided by ATI, upgrading the kernel via yum, removing X-org and installing everything again. Looked for various approches in the net using google, but still I get the same error message when I try to activate OpenGl using fgl_glxgears
:Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Error: couldn't get an RGBA, Double-buffered visual

I am Running FC3 on a AMD 2600XP
running Kernel : 2.6.10-1.770_FC3
/sbin/lspci produces the following output :

Well I really hope that anyone can help me with this issue
thanks alot!

Oliver

It could be that the problem is related to the fact that I was using nvidia before.
I have read in a different forum a post related to this problem.
How do I check the Xorg log file if the glx module used is still the one from the nvidia driver?
How do I replace it?

SOLVED

Run : sh NVidia-Installer --remove

after this use the fglrxconfig to change the xorg.conf

And if you use the the option 3 in the opengl config menue, even realsoft3d will run with opengl support.

cheers
